97 12v egt problems

I have 97 that I have always had high egts with. Power for power it is less usable than my 24v. I lost a hose and over heated it. So I just tore it down. Many jugs are scored bad. #6 piston is slightly burnt. So what I am hopeing is that that has been My problem all the time. I also have some oil residue in my turbo clean air side. Any thoughts?????

Now that I will be building a new engine I would like to go with coated pistons, Larger studs, Orings, Ported heat, and a cam. Maybe twins and water meth but I may add that later. So can anyone recomend some parts? And a machine shop for the work.

I live in southern cal. I tow and may start to sled pull. I would like well over 500 hp that is useable.

Thanks
Steve
